(Excerpt from the statutes of 1900).
Although this Society mainly published engravings of interpretations of works by masters, it nevertheless published a few original engravings, most of the time countersigned, in limited editions (generally 300 copies in ordinary edition, some of them they have benefited from a print run of a few numbered copies on China or Japan).
